The Women Development Cell (WDC) and PG Department of English Language and Literature of GEMS Arts and Science College Autonomous successfully organized a program on 23rd January 2026 at MP Narayana Menon Hall to raise awareness. The quiz program was designed for the 'Njangalum Collegilekku' batch. This batch, an initiative by the Honorable MLA to encourage women to resume their higher education, participated enthusiastically in the event aimed at fostering legal and social awareness.
The centerpiece of the session was a six-level awareness quiz focusing on three core themes: Girl Child Rights, Government Policies and Rules, and General Knowledge related to women's empowerment. This interactive platform effectively educated participants on important legal protections and various welfare schemes, while the competitive yet supportive atmosphere encouraged them to engage deeply with the subject matter. To recognize the efforts of the participants, Mr. Vasudevan Master, Vice Chairman of GEMS Arts and Science College (Autonomous), distributed awards to the best performers, Ms. Muhsina P ( 3rd Sem BA Sociology) and Nihma Farsana PK ( 1st Sem BA English Language and Literature) after which the participants shared valuable feedback on their experience. The event concluded with a vote of thanks proposed by Ms. Basima, faculty member and Assistant Coordinator of the 'Njangalum Collegilekku' batch.

The outcomes of the program were closely aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically focusing on Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions (SDG 16). By addressing themes like girl child rights and legal policies, the event successfully sensitized the participants about the protective laws and welfare schemes available to them. This awareness empowered these women to navigate their academic and social lives with greater confidence and legal literacy, ultimately fostering a culture of informed action and reinforcing the institution's commitment to inclusive education and social justice.
